DPOD is an optional feature on the embedded switch listed above. DPOD takes the expansion capability of fixed Ports on Demand (PODs) and adds the flexibility of connecting to any available port as long as a valid license is available. Previously, POD allowed only specific ports to be utilized. With DPOD, any physically available port can be made active as long as a valid license is available. This allows customers the flexibility of automatically changing port assignments where previously the port assignments were fixed and inflexible.
